Gizmo - Alternative to Skype?


According to a small article in Wired - Gizmo is the next great VOIP client, and possibly better than Skype, due to the following:
  • up to 99 person conference (Skype max is 4)
  • uses standard session protocol, compatible with other clients like yahoo, iChat, etc. (Skype uses proprietary protocol)
  • uses central server farms, not P2P, so not subject to certain user's machines bogging down if busy doing other processing
  • record conversation directly to hard drive - great for podcasting
